Light cleaners aren't strong enough; wife's been using Goof-Off or a toluene -based cleaner and scrubbed the stains. Soot seems to be a bit greasy. Also, in addition to knowing how to get rid of stains, would like to know what's causing them.Thanks

I'm asking how to prevent the soot in the dryer from occurring; not how to remove it from the drum. I've been removing it successfully since it first started.I'm asking how to prevent the soot in the dryer from occurring; not how to remove it from the drum.

Soak
Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without basket movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment even for delicate articles.

Do you have the correct conversion kit for the type gas you are using?You may need to open the air shutter on the burner if you are on propane gas. The dryer must have the correct burner for the type of gas in your home. Burner info is located on the rating plate in the door of your dryer.They don't recommend a novice converting this dryer. Get your gas provider out there to check it out. DUET

The soot is being cause by the nasty yellow flames shooting out the burner because the air to gas ratio is wrong. That gas needs to come out that burner all nice and pretty blue. The soot is the unburned gas by products being slung out along with the into the heated air. LOL

Hello. To remove stains on your dryer's tumbler, apply spray cleaner, a mild abrasive, or laundry stain treatment to the affected area of the dryer tumbler and wipe with a damp cloth. Then dry a load of old towels or rags for about 30 minutes. These steps will remove the stain on your dryer's tumbler. Even if a mark remains on the dryer tumbler, the color won't transfer onto your clean laundry.Regards, Joe

If Yes, these spots are caused by this ,softners and soap will not break down with cold water and flush out so it builds up under the tub and in the hoses.Get some stuff called washer magic and run a couple loads with hot water and no clothes.This will break it down and flush it out ,, use more hot water.This stuff shows for front loading washers but i have used it with top loaders too and it works really good

If Not, More often it is an Indication of Bad Transmission. Usually Transmissions do have 5 Years Warranty and if your washer is 7 - 10 years old ( which i assume as this usually is an indicate end of life for washers ), better to invest in new Washer.

Make sure you are diluting the fabric softener before putting it into the dispenser drawer. Full strength softener will sometimes stain clothing that's why in the owners manual they always tell you to dilute it first before adding ,plus it last a lot longer and is just as affective... Hope tis helps

the soot is coming from the flame at the gas heater box the drier needs to be converted to propane the flame is too large without the conversion kit installed and thus creates soot at the vent. contact a local repair place for this one it can be tricky.

I have been getting brown stains in the shape of a line on items of clothing washed in my Whirlpool duet washer. I can not get these stains out with anything and they are ruining numerous items of clothing. I have no idea what is causing them - I have manually cleaned the inside of the washer. same thing here. I have been having this problem for a few weeks, cant wash anything white without ruining it.

i have the same washer and i am some times perplexed about stain that appear after washing> i always blamed colors tranfer from other items .I'll keep a closer eye and see if i can find any more. does your washer have any oders that bother you mine does. for the price i feel cheated
